Here are Stranger Danger alerts sent out from Humble ISD concerning suspicious males near two Atascocita schools on Thursday morning.
Timberwood Middle School:
We want to inform you of a Stranger Danger near our campus. At about 9:13 a.m. sixth-grade student was walking to school on Flax Bourton near Timber Forest Drive. The student reported a man drove up and asked her if she wanted a ride to school. The student declined, and the man said "Come on, let me give you a ride!" The student became alarmed and ran toward Timber Forest Drive. The man did not follow.
The driver is described as a black male in his 40's, bald, with dark brown eyes. The vehicle was described as an older model small blue four-door sedan.
This has been reported to Humble ISD Police. Officers will patrol the area near our campus at arrival and dismissal time. ~ Kenneth Buck, Principal
West Lake Middle School:
We want to inform you of an unusual occurrence near our campus this morning before school. Near the bus stop at Eagle Springs Parkway and Redwood Park Lane, a man was hanging around the bus stop, making students feel uncomfortable. Please keep in mind that this man has not done anything except linger.
The man is described as a white male in his 50's, heavy set, with a white beard, sun glasses and a baseball cap. The vehicle was described as a black F150 truck.
This has been reported to Humble ISD Police. Officers will patrol the area near our campus at arrival and dismissal time. ~ Dr. Ken Hodgkinson, Principal
This is a good opportunity to review the following safety tips:
- Walk to and from school in groups.
- If anything unusual occurs, tell an adult immediately. Time can be critical.
- Never talk to strangers or accept rides from them, even if you are stranded. Call a trusted adult for transportation.
- Be proactive: tour the neighborhood to identify safe and dangerous circumstances and places. Arrange for immediate access to neighbors or other trusted adults who could be contacted in an emergency.
- Don't panic. If you are afraid or have a problem, call a parent or a trusted adult.
- Never tell people at your door, phone callers, or online that you are home alone.
- Keep your house key hidden. Don't give it to anyone and don't keep it in a visible place that would tell people you are going home to an empty house.
- Never get into a car, enter a home, look for a lost pet or person, or accept food or items from an adult, unless your parents know what you are doing or have identified that person as a trusted emergency contact.
- Tell a trusted adult - parent, teacher or counselor - if anyone ever makes you feel uncomfortable. When children are abused, it often is by someone they know.
Please continue to encourage your children to report any concerns to your school staff, Humble ISD Police (281-641-7900) or through the Humble ISD iHelp app -
